Our Clients
CITIZEN AVOCATS works primarily with two Clienteles: on the one hand, entrepreneurs and businesses who wish to benefit from the expertise and the pragmatic approach of the firm; and on the other hand, Enlish-speaking and international Clients, who wish to be assisted in their mother tongue for legal issues specific to their situation.
We ensure that our Clients retain control of their case, understand the ins and outs and know how it is handled. Our policy towards our clients is demanding: to make our expertise accessible and understandable, to become their true partners in the long term.
Our activities
CITIZEN AVOCATS provides both consultancy (drafting contracts, consultations, compliance checks, occasional or regular advice, drafting of documents, etc.) and litigation (representation in the context of an amicable settlement, defence before the courts, etc.).
This double intervention allows the Firm’s clients to entrust us with their case, whether it is to carry out an economic project or to resolve a dispute. Discover our philosophy and methods using the icons below.
